Those are the words of local hero Terry Fox. From Port Coquitlam, BC, Terry was only 18 when he lost his leg to osteogenic sarcoma. ![]()

He dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, and proceeded to unite Canadians in a way that had never been done before as he began his Marathon of Hope, to raise money for cancer research, according to the Terry Fox Foundation. ![]()
